Farewell

No sorry for the lost time, that palace where hurt lives
No sorry for today; just tomorrow's yesterday 
I apologise for not being, for being, for not seeing what I saw 
For existing, for living, for wanting, for crying, for understanding what I could
No sorry for mothers giving birth to daily hope 
And none at all for being left alone with no hope
I give you no sorry for those evenings, 
for dances on time's butterfly flippers 
Lust's death-laden whispers; oh his life-giving chants
No sorry for kisses, wild fumbles on mars
No sorry for crickets and wet cigarette butts
No sorry for drunk nights; stars in broad daylight caskets of familier lies; shards of broken trust
No sorry for goodbye and farewell, sweet Friend.
